Tag Barrel Graphical Glitch

Found by COEL625. Grab the apple in Fungi Forest with Hunky Chunky, stand where the tag barrel is, and cancel Hunky Chunky with Z+C-left. As you can see, the text and graphics in the tag barrel will get screwed up. Pausing seems to freeze them in place, but you can go back in and get them to reappear, then pause again to overlap the new graphics with the old. Performing the glitch again will erase the graphics. Entering a loading zone seems to fix the glitch.

Just out of curiosity, do you use an S-Video cable to record this. I've got a composite right now and the quality isn't turning out very great.

[Cheeseoman]

Yes, I use S-video and a DVD recorder. Are you using a capture card? That may be why the quality isn't great.

Could it eventually lead it to a lag crash?

[Cheeseoman]

It's possible. I didn't play with it for very long.

[MidnightMascott]

@Cheeseoman I figured that. I'm using a Dazzle and a Composite cable. I'm planning on buying an S-video cable soon....when I have money.

If you guys want to see a trick that CAN freeze the game, and perhaps you can explain this other glitch to me :?, then go to: /watch?v=6EFDGkVLYhM

This goes to anyone else who cares too!

@MidnightMascott In other words, the game won't crash because of this type of glitch. It's similar to the effect you use when you hold Shift while dragging a selection on Paint.

@JabuJabule This type of graphical glitch is caused by objects being drawn to the screen not being erased by the renderer. Since the game thought Hunky Chunky was still enabled, the game didn't erase the two top bars after every frame, so they just stayed there.

[MidnightMascott]

I think I remember accidentally doing this once.

[COEL625]

I wish the game could sound like this on my console with all of its details!!!
